    Snorkel Options for D4. Pros & Cons

    Hi all,

    Been looking at the threads for snorkels for the D4. I am looking at the LR one which looks better than the Safari one. However i have read the Safari one is noisy but LR is more expensive.

    Is this correct?

    I have been quote $1088 for the LR snorkel kit not fitted. The Safari one i havent had a chance to find out cost... so if anyone knows please let me know.

    Also finding it hard to even find photos of either the LR one or the Safari one.

    Thanks in advance

    Dorko

    Hi Dorko,

    I've just had a Safari snorkel fitted on my D4 TDV3.0. I understand that the LR one is not waterproof. Cost fitted was $800. I mainly did it to reduce the amount of dust that would get taken into the air filter. I agree that the Safari looks a little boxy on the sid of the car.

    Thanks gents...

    It blows my mind that it would not be water proof. You would think LR would make it properly for the money it cost!

    I have only seem the LR snorkel from the side.... bit the Safari one does look boxy and slightly cheap looking.

    When you guys say the snorkel is not water tight.... Do they use a sealant?

    Only if the 3.0 doesn't have enough power so you do an engine swap.

    I stand to be corrected, but I seem to recall that the D4 V8 uses both air intakes..... how cool would 2 snorkels look!
